Newcastle United have reportedly offered €10m for Roma player Carles Perez.
According to Sportitalia, the Magpies made the proposal in cash and it is being given some serious consideration.
Genoa and Torino had also been linked with a loan, but the possibility of selling the 23-year-old would certainly be more intriguing.
The concern is that Roma paid €12m plus bonuses to sign him from Barcelona, initially on loan in January 2020 and then on a permanent basis, so Newcastle might have to raise the bid slightly.
